Chapter 506: The Old Mansion of the Zhou Family (Part II)
Mrs. Li Zhang and Mrs. Xu chatted a few words, and then went to the inner house under the leadership of the other party to visit, Mrs. Xu was cold and indifferent to everything, and even Li Zhang felt that the other party had a kind of misanthropic mood, and even the sale of the house was not very enthusiastic, and on the way only a general introduction to the area and house of the house, and did not deliberately sell it, it seemed that she didn't care too much about whether it could be sold or not.
Li Zhang also took a general look at the old house of the Zhou family, and felt good, if the price was right, maybe he would really buy it, anyway, the housing prices in Tokyo City have been rising, and it is also a good investment to keep the value-added, but just like Mrs. Xu said before, she may really be ready to move back to Luoyang, so many yards in the inner house are packing things, and many people are also packing the things in the yard and loading them into the car.
"I'm going to go back to Luoyang in three days, if the house can't be sold, forget it, anyway, I'm not short of money for the time being, speaking of which, this is still the house that my father bought in order to stay in the capital, but unfortunately it was ...... later" Mrs. Xu, who was being introduced, suddenly stopped when she said this, and her eyes were fixed on a courtyard in front of her.
Li Zhang and Qingzhi followed Mrs. Xu's gaze, and saw that there was another courtyard not far in front, but the door of this courtyard was locked, and there were people packing things in other courtyards, but only this courtyard did not dare to approach, and even the people passing by walked around the road.
"Mrs. Xu, why is this courtyard locked, can we go in and have a look?" Li Zhang looked at the courtyard at this time and asked.
"This ......" I saw that Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, you can come with me!" ”
Mrs. Xu said and stepped forward, and took out a key from her arms, Li Zhang thought that this locked yard should be uninhabited, so it must be very desolate inside, but when the courtyard door was opened, he found that the flowers and trees in the yard were very neatly trimmed, and the road was also very clean.
With the consent of Mrs. Xu, Li Zhang and Qingzhi entered this boudoir together, and also went up to the boudoir on the second floor, only to see that the room was still very tidy and tidy, and the furniture and supplies were readily available, but there was a lack of vitality here, obviously there should be no one living here.
"This used to be my little sister's residence, but then she had an accident, and her parents and brothers died, I have the best relationship with my little sister, so I often come to clean, and the things here are not ready to move away, if you buy a house, you can keep it if you want to use it, and throw it away if you don't want to use it." Mrs. Xu spoke again at this time, and her face finally showed a little sad look from blandness.
Li Zhang finally understood when he heard this, it turned out that this was the boudoir of the little sister of the Zhou family who was taken away, and it was no wonder that Mrs. Xu locked the door, after all, the destruction of their family started from the abduction of the little sister of the Zhou family, so this courtyard should be the sad place of the Zhou family, Mrs. Xu naturally didn't want others to come in, of course, now that she is even ready to sell the house, it naturally doesn't matter.
"Husband, look, I also have the same hairpin!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Qingori shouting in surprise, and as she spoke, she reached out and picked up a hairpin on the dresser and shook it to Li Zhang, and when she stretched out her hand, she just revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist, which made Li Zhang can't help but admire his wife's acting skills, because the hairpin in her hand is also the first time she has seen it.
Sure enough, just when Qingori picked up the hairpin, Mrs. Xu also saw the jade bracelet in her hand, which made her body tremble suddenly, and then rushed forward with an arrow, as if she wanted to reach out and grab Qingzhi's wrist, but in the end reason still prevailed, and her hand stopped halfway out, and at this time Qingzhi also pretended to be a little afraid to look at Mrs. Xu, and Li Zhang stepped forward to protect Qingzhi in his arms and stared at Mrs. Xu.
Seeing the vigilant appearance of Li Zhang and his wife, Mrs. Xu also hurriedly explained at this time: "The old body lost his temper just now, I hope that Little Brother Li will not blame, but I saw that the bracelet on Mrs. Ling's hand seems to be a little familiar, I wonder if I can take it off and let the old body take a closer look?" ”
"Is Mrs. Xu mistaken? This bracelet was bought by me some time ago and given to my wife. Li Zhang deliberately said again at this time.
"The old body only takes a look, and I hope that Little Brother Li is perfect!" Mrs. Xu also showed an anxious look at this time and said, this bracelet has a special meaning to her, so her reaction will be so big.
The play is almost here, so Li Zhang didn't refuse again, and asked Qingzhi to take off the jade bracelet and hand it to Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Xu showed a disappointed look as soon as she received it, and returned it to Li Zhang without even looking carefully: "I'm sorry, I saw it wrong, this is not the jade bracelet I was looking for." ”
"Why is Madam looking for such a jade bracelet, seeing your excitement just now, it seems that this jade bracelet has a special meaning for you?" Li Zhang took the jade bracelet and asked again.
"This ......" I saw Mrs. Xu hesitate for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Actually, it's nothing to tell you, when my little sister was kidnapped by thieves, she was wearing such a jade bracelet on her hand, this jade bracelet was originally a pair, and I was one with her." ”
When he said this, he saw that Mrs. Xu also rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white jade bracelet on her wrist, Li Zhang and Qingzhi also took a closer look, and sure enough, they found that it was almost exactly the same as the jade bracelet that the wild dog gave to Xiuxiu, and even the fake jade bracelet that Li Zhang bought could not see the difference on the surface with this jade bracelet.
"Mrs. Xu, just now I saw that you took the jade bracelet and returned it to me, it seems that you didn't look closely at all, and I see that there is almost no big difference between your jade bracelet and my wife's jade bracelet, how can you tell the difference?" Li Zhang asked again at this time.
"Actually, it's nothing, although these two jade bracelets look very similar, but the jade quality is different, I have worn the jade bracelet for many years, and you can find the difference when you touch it, and the inside of the jade bracelet between me and my little sister is engraved with the surname of our Zhou family, so you only need to touch it." Mrs. Xu opened her mouth again to explain.
When Li Zhang and Qingzhi heard Mrs. Xu's last words, the two also glanced at each other, if it was just a guess before, then now it is certain that this Mrs. Xu in front of her is the sister of the wild dog's mother, and now she has finally found the right person.
However, Li Zhang and Qingzhi did not show anything unusual, after visiting this courtyard, they went to other places to go around, and finally Li Zhang said that he was quite satisfied, and Mrs. Xu also quoted a price, Li Zhang felt that it was not expensive, but it took two days to think about it, if it was appropriate, it would be handed over with money two days later, and Mrs. Xu would not be delayed to leave Beijing, and Mrs. Xu also agreed.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Xu, Li Zhang and Qingzhi got into the carriage again, but at this time, Qingzhi finally couldn't help but say excitedly: "Husband, the person has been found, what should we do next, do you want to tell Xiuxiu the news?" ”
Li Zhang also pondered for a long time when he heard this, but finally shook his head and said: "Don't let Xiuxiu say it, the wild dog is very taboo about his mother's affairs, he and Xiuxiu have just gotten married, I'm afraid it will affect their relationship, so I'll go and talk to the wild dog, if the wild dog wants to blame, let him blame me!" ”
"It's still thoughtful!" Qingzhi also agreed when she heard this, and after speaking, she hesitated for a moment and spoke again, "I see that Mrs. Xu has been thinking about her sister today, and she has no relatives anymore, I don't know if she will accept wild dogs?" ”
"This is indeed a problem, none of us know Mrs. Xu's attitude, now let's go talk to the wild dog first, if the wild dog agrees, it's not too late to test Mrs. Xu's attitude." Li Zhang thought about it for a moment and spoke again.
The carriage returned home, Li Zhang sent Qingori back to the inner house, and he walked to the wild dog's house, because it was close, so he walked directly over, and when he came here, the wild dog had just returned from martial arts, and was guarding the kitchen to watch Xiuxiu show off his cooking skills, because it was about to be dinner time.
"Big brother, why are you here, husband, hurry up and accompany the eldest brother to the living room to sit down, wait for me to cook a few more dishes, and the eldest brother will eat at home!" Xiuxiu also immediately greeted Li Zhang when she saw her.
"Well, I have something to find a wild dog, Xiuxiu, you are busy!" Li Zhang also smiled at this time, but when he spoke, he also glanced at Xiuxiu, which made Xiuxiu immediately understand, because she also knew that Li Zhang went to Zhou's house today, and now looking at Li Zhang's expression, there should have been results, which made her a little apprehensive.
The wild dog didn't know what Li Zhang was looking for, so he followed Li Zhang to the living room at the moment, and then Li Zhang asked everyone to retreat, and then looked at the wild dog and said straight to the point: "Why have you never heard of your mother's relics?" ”
The wild dog was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then he reacted and said, "Xiuxiu told you?" ”
Li Zhang nodded, and the wild dog smiled bitterly at this time: "My mother didn't let me go to look for her relatives, saying that she was afraid that the family would be humiliated by her, so I never thought of going to them." ”
"But I've found it for you!" Li Zhang then spoke.
As a result, the wild dog also stood up in shock, and the expression on his face was also very entangled, but in the end, he slowly sat down and smiled bitterly again: "What if I find it, they may not recognize me, and I will not go against my mother's wishes, so forget about this matter!" ”
"If everything is fine in your mother's family, I may also advise you not to recognize your relatives, but now the situation is a bit special, and your mother's family has no relatives......" Li Zhang said and explained the situation of the Zhou family in detail, as for whether to recognize relatives? Li Zhang respects the wild dog's own decision.
